I'm a musician too (well, more so than artist) but at 16x16 I can at least blame the medium. :) Here's a first attempt.

BTW, hi everyone. I'm new. I decided it was time to subscribe, brush up on my python, read for a bit and see if I could help.
I've been adminning the linuxchix lists (in mailman) for a while now, and other less-public lists for longer. I'm not too sure what else I should say by way of introduction, so I guess I'll skip the "my life in a nutshell" essay for tonight. :)

TO> http://terri.zone12.com/mm.gifVery cool, thanks. You can see what it looks like in context on this page:
http://mail.python.org/mailman-21/listinfoNote that only non-template pages will display the icon currently (that was easy to hack in; it's more time consuming to add this to all the templates).
Two changes: I made the background grey since that looks a little better on my Moz 0.9.6+ browser, and I converted it to PNG (GIFs are taboo for GNU projects ;).
Let me know what you all think. Terri, thanks, and would you be willing to sign copyright assignment papers for the logo?
Cheers, -Barry
P.S. The `playground' list you'll see above is a test list for MM2.1 on python.org. Feel free to subscribe <wink>.

Barry, Playground may not be quite ready.
Replying to the confirmation message for Playground led to the following bounce:

I'll let you know when the email side of the world is functional. Web side should be though.

I should have thought of that orginally! Actually, I thought about it after I put it up on my server, but I was too tired and lazy feeling to convert it, and then my mail bounced because I brilliantly signed up under this address and then sent mail from @zone12 instead of @hole.zone12 and... I guess it wasn't my night. :)
It's actually an interesting quirk that I could authorize the subscription from @zone12 but couldn't post from there. I guess I've never tried that before.
Let me know what you all think. Terri, thanks, and would you be willing to sign copyright assignment papers for the logo?
No problem. Does anything actually need to be physically signed, or is just "I give all rights to this arrangement of 256 pixels to the FSF" by email good enough? (I know, it's necessary, but it seems a lot of fuss over such a tiny image!)
Actually, I gather that since I'm in Canada, I retain moral rights even if I sign off everything. Not that it matters, (How the heck could you abuse moral right on such a tiny logo? Wait, don't answer that. :) ) but it's an interesting quirk of our system that artists have a right that can't be signed away in a legal sense.
Moral right means that you can object legally if something you've created is used in a way which you deem inappropriate, like a picture being used on hate literature or, in the one case I've heard about, red bows tied around the necks of fake geese in a shopping centre. No, really!
